pickThis was a creepy, wild ride. The story is a fictitious look into the Usher family that inspired Poe's Fall of the House of Usher.
McCammon delivers page turning thrills involving a haunted house, witches, a family torn apart by their secrets, and a scary urban legend about a creature in the woods who eats children.

Just discovered this author for British rom com! Yay And I got #letteru out of it! #litsyatoz Five more to go!
pickRecommend this to anyone looking for tools to reduce the stress/anxiety in their life. It was a good read with practical examples. I didn't get my yoga/ meditation in for #bfcr2 week 2 but this book has given me some new goals for week 3. #bookfitnesschallenge #bfc #litsyatoz #letterU @wanderinglynn @mitch
so-soA very short book for #LetterU for #litsyatoz but not one I can recommend. Written by the couple‘s granddaughter, this felt more like an assembly of events with far too much author analysis of what the MC must‘ve been thinking. MC was clearly all-knowing and omniscient about the war (thick sarcasm), and the author told us that every chance she got. Absolutely no subtlety. This story should have remained in the family archives.
I just added the tagged book to my #Litsyatoz records. I‘ve started books for #letterU and #letterX. So that leaves just three letters to go, O, Y, and Z, for which I already have books lined up! Barring a catastrophe I will finish this challenge much earlier than my normal crunch in November-December.
pickWhat if childless, unmarried people with jobs that aren‘t critical to the function of society were considered “dispensable“ at 50?
As I‘m nearing that period and almost could fall into that category, this was interesting to me. These folks are forced to live in a closed community that is essentially a luxury jail and undergo experiments and donate organs to “needed” people.
Similar to Handmaid‘s Tale and Never Let Me Go, a great read!
Started this ebook tonight for #letterU for #litsyatoz
pickWas surprisingly half decent. While there were aspects that were clunky, I thought it was an interesting topic to broach. 4⭐️#bookreview #bookstagram #letteru #u #litsyatoz2019 #litsyatoz
pickMy first impression of this book was that the four main characters, prostitutes in Antwerp, moved there from Nigeria, had all chosen that life of their own free will. Reading deeper into each woman‘s story, it became clear that was not the case for most of them.
Obviously sad, and full of triggers, I still enjoyed getting to know these four ladies.
Chosen for #LetterU #LitsyAtoZ
